MTL - Full Time Mage Lord-Chapter 574 Money Rolls II
Chapter 574 Rich Resources II
Longhuiling finally survived its first winter.
Fortunately, those who chose Xiuyin did not starve or suffer from cold this winter.
Seven Lunar Calendar 160 years.
The first day of the first month of spring, the new year led by Long Hui.
On the third floor of his mansion, Xiu Yin looked at the citizens who were singing and dancing in Navarrean Square. Xiu Yin was very satisfied, especially when he saw the happiness and satisfaction on the faces of the citizens, Xiu Yin felt a sense of pride .
But General Longhui is facing another problem, that is, the financial income that is still in deficit.
There are also various burdens brought about by a large population.
Raby's city defense force has always been at full capacity. Hundreds of thousands of citizens are spread on the plains around Navarran City. If a patrol team travels from south to north, it will take an hour to walk. as long as.
Thus, the city defense team not only needs a large number of soldiers, but more importantly, in order to maintain the law and order environment that Xiuyin has always emphasized, the expenditure of Rebi's city defense team even exceeds that of Abissa's knights.
The Nazr family's industry in the sea to the east For the huge and somewhat bloated Longhui Territory, the income brought by those chambers of commerce is just a scratch.
Although it is fortunate that a large number of farmers who gathered in Longhui Territory were finally able to reclaim the arable land and plant crops this year, but...
Crops won't be harvested until fall...
Need a lot of food, food can be bought, but not only the price of food in this season is high, the total amount that is enough to buy also requires a lot of money, and in this situation, what Long Hui needs is money.
The gold deposits brought from the original Morrowind Territory have been exhausted to fight against the harsh winter of the previous year, and the mine veins in Longhui Territory are not rich, so they are only enough for their own use at present.
Because the work on Keha Mountain Road has just passed the winter and the ground is frozen hard during the winter, it may be difficult to receive a large amount of goods before the middle of the year, and Xiu Yin also knows that he cannot directly let those workers To work in a place where the alpha energy reaction is very strong, to move that place, at least a reasonable excuse is needed.
But now there are no excuses...
But there is also good news, that is, those greenhouses built in autumn.
A large number of greenhouses not only allowed some residents to survive the cold winter, but under the care of the greenhouses, the crops inside grew very smoothly.
However, because it was a trial of greenhouses, and there was a lack of labor and materials to build more greenhouses at that time, the number of these crops from the greenhouses was not large, and they were used to supply the crops in the city of Navarran. If the leader is concerned, he can only persist until summer.
Finance Minister Reiner, Interior Minister Paro, and Foreign Minister Milner, the three giants of the interior appeared in Xiuyin's mansion together as soon as the carnival of the citizens stopped.
The imminent crisis in the territory, of course the three of them will come and talk to Lord Xiuyin.
"My lord, if you don't make plans as soon as possible, the salaries given to the officials will not be able to be honored!" Reiner is responsible for the income and expenditure of such a large territory, and he is responsible for the entire Longhui Territory.
Different from the worried expressions of the three people, Xiu Yin was very calm.
Shu Yin also just thought of it. After Paro reported the situation of the greenhouse, Xiu Yin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, because he also thought of sending Charlotte to contact Pizarro, the ninth prince of the Bofeng Empire, in two days.
If those dignitaries in the Qiyao faction like Moonstone...
As soon as Paro finished talking about the greenhouse, Xiu Yin thought of a good idea.
"Don't worry, folks."
Xiu Yin already had a plan in mind.
"Uncle Reiner, please contact Prandelli, the president of the Autumn Leaf Chamber of Commerce, and ask him to go to the Bofeng Empire with Charlotte tomorrow."
"Eh? That's why?" Reiner was very puzzled by Xiu Yin's arrangement, and Prandley, the president of the Qiuye Chamber of Commerce, also migrated from Huangshui Town. Because of the loss of the support of the grain industry and mining industry, Qiuye The situation of the chamber of commerce was not very good, and Prandelli also had some doubts about Lord Xiuyin's series of arrangements.
After all, Prandelli is not a direct descendant of Shuyin, and Reiner knows this, so he questioned the connection between the financial crisis and Prandelli.
Besides, even if it is a commercial activity, Reiner thinks that Lolita of the Nazr family seems to be a better candidate. After all, the strength of the Nazr family is much stronger than that of Prandelli's chamber of commerce.
Foreign Secretary Milner's mind turned quickly, and he had already guessed some answers from Huin's words.
"Lord, are you going to sell the crops in the greenhouse to the Bofeng Empire?" Milner confirmed his guess to Xiuyin.
"Mr. Milner guessed right, that's exactly what I want!" Xiu Yin replied.
Sell all the fresh fruit and vegetable crops in the greenhouse to the Bofeng Empire, and only sell them to the upper echelons of the empire. The taste of eating fresh ingredients is definitely far stronger than the stored food left over from the previous year.
Even if you are not a foodie, fresh food is definitely a different enjoyment than stale ones. Xiuyin thinks this is definitely a business opportunity, and the most important thing is that the rich and powerful will not care about the price of fresh food that can double the price for enjoyment. food!
After hearing this, Paro and Lena also understood, and praised each other, saying that the lord's idea is very good, selling fresh crops to the Bofeng Empire at a high price, and the money in exchange can be used to buy cheap food, enough to last until autumn. Fai led the harvest season.
But... Foreign Secretary Milner's face is not much joy.
Seeing this, Xiuyin asked, "Mr. Milner, is there any problem?"
"There is one thing." Milner didn't know if Lord Xiu Yin had considered it, so he replied, "To send a large amount of goods to the Bofeng Empire, and it is still food crops, the northern port of Xingshui Town is the fastest. But there is a high river crossing fee in Xingshui Town, and the boats are completely monopolized..."
Milner spoke out his worries.
Shuyin raised the question when he thought that Milner had been sent to the Bofeng Empire as the foreign minister, and he probably went to Xingshui Town. It seemed that he had experienced the situation there.
Shu Yin also had experience in Xingshui Town, so he arranged for Prandelli to be in charge of arranging this matter.
Prandelli was originally a black and white character, and he also had activities in the northern part of the Starlight Kingdom. He was much more tactful than Lolita of the Nazr family, and he was also familiar with all aspects of affairs.
There is no better candidate than Prandelli to deal with the greed of Xingshui Town.
And when the convoy is officially on the road, he will arrange for the leader of the Knights Abisa to **** it. As for the practice of monopolizing the ships, Xiuyin already has an idea.
